Small businesses knowing that Obama intends to punish them for having
employees by way of his 8% fee unless they pay for health care should
take measures right now.


1. *Plan for no growth or even negative growth.
2. *Lay of workers now while you can. *Soon, Obama will make it
difficult to do so.
3. *Instead of growth, consider licensing your stuff to a foreign
company. *This way you do not have to pay employees or pay Obama’s 8%
tax.
4. *If you really want to increase revenues, pay a foreign company to
do what you would do in the USA and then buy it from them.
5. *Do not invest in anything in the USA. *Instead, buy stocks in
foreign companies.
6. *Do not feel bad about living this way, the Dems are trying to
punish you for being an employer so screw em and their voters.


In my case, I have stopped manufacturing and have simply licensed our
tech to a foreign company and they pay royalties. *Sure beats paying
payroll taxes and the hassle of employees and worrying about Obama’s
punishing me for being an employer. *I need a new thing developed but
instead of hiring someone to do it, I found I could pay a company in
India to develop it and then simply give me the drawings. *I wonder
how high unemployment will have to get under Obamanomics before it is
cheaper to pay people here than paying people in India?


You're using the threat of health care to justify having moved your
business offshore?

I can't imagine not covering my employees with health insurance. *It's
damned expensive and a pain in the ass but among the ways that I can
show them that we care about them and their family's welfare.

I have the ability to send my programming offshore. *I'd risk being
insolvent before caving to cheaper labor. *That's un-American to me.


Kind of like someone who would make up stories about Japanese/German
screwdrivers instead of buying good old "Merkin ones..

There are many other manufacturers too, but of course, they aren't
politically correct I guess.. Pffffttt

Dude, nobody believes anything you say. Well, maybe Donnie and Harry
do, but they are in your club anyway...
